Setec hooked me up :props: I'm going to go ahead and order 10 of them because I've got a feeling their going to be even harder to find in the future

Microfibers SUCK!!! and Lambs Wool holds to much junk and are to heavy. Feels like I'm washing with a cinder block :autowash:

Thank You again Setec :dblthumb2:
 
PM sent, Flash.

Also: If I can't find 100% cotton wash mitts, I will make one out of 100% cotton towels. One particular brand of Martex branded 100% made in the USA cotton towels is found on bigasstowels website:D

I like wool better than microfiber but I had a nice Cotten one that hadto be demoted not too long ago. I never saw AG had some though

What does Chenille mean?

From Wikipedia- Chenille, the French word for caterpillar, is typically used to describe a type of fabric. Many fabrics, such as mohair and wool, get their names from the fibers with which they are made. Chenille, however, is named from the unique process by which it is made.
:wow:
 
Why dont the chenille MF mitts look the same? If they use the same process shouldn't the end result be the same or similar?

My guess is it's not the same process--"chenille" refers to the look of the finished product, like little caterpillars...so that's a pretty broad definition which could be satisfied by many different techniques.
 
Just so long as Chenille doesn't mean fake Cotton I'm good

Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me

I would imagine the process of attaching the "chenille-looking" yarns (cotton, acrylic, plyesters, etc.) of a car wash mitt to an underlying "mitt fabric" is probably different than the processes used in making blankets and other linens.

Some processes used may not be ideal for car wash mitts, IMO.

Wonder what the Chenille International Manufacturers (CIMA) have to say about such processes? :)

I see some chenille that looks like "caterpillar" and some are a lot finer so it look like a thicker nap
 
My local Big Lots store gets cotton wash mitts in regularly, that's where I got mine.
 
Flash, what do you think about this style of wash pad?

This shot shows how the cotton is woven into a soft material. These pads are very, very soft.
